In a significant legal development, families of the victims injured and killed at Robb Elementary have negotiated a $2 million settlement with the city of Uvalde. This amount will be paid out from the city’s insurance policy.
Javier Cazares, who lost his daughter Jackie among the 21 victims, has been at the forefront, advocating for accountability and justice.
This settlement and the ongoing lawsuit are extensions of his relentless fight.
A key stipulation of the settlement is that the Uvalde Police Department must reaffirm their commitment to enhancing training for both current and future officers. Additionally, the city is set to continue investing in mental health support for those affected by the tragedy. Jerry Mata, overwhelmed with emotion as the second year of remembrance approaches, expressed hope that the lawsuit against Texas DPS and Uvalde CISD will lead to monumental changes.
